It's my Birthday (well, sort of)

I have been blogging now for a year.  That is amazing to me.  It has just flown by.  I want to thank everyone that has visited my blog and been so encouraging when leaving comments.  It has been a wonderful experience so far.

I received a fabulous package from Amanda at The Quilted Fish.   Beautiful fabrics from her line Sugar and Spice and some pretty buttons and crocheted flowers to match.  I will have such fun with all of it.

AND THIS WAS 2ND PLACE !!!!!   What a lucky girl I am.

Thank you Amanda.  I love it all.

Happy Quilting :),

A New Word and a Funny Story

     I had so much fun creating my Glamp for the Summer Camp hosted by Amanda at The Quilted Fish.  She gave me the kit and then let me enter it into a contest for prizes!!!  How Awesome is THAT????  THANK YOU AMANDA!!!!
     For a week anyone could go to The Quilted Fish and vote for their favorite Glamp.  (There were some really great ones entered in the contest and made by Amanda's creative team--you should go check them out!) 
     I had so many wonderful supporters during this contest.  My family, my friends, my co-workers, my 3x6 Bee friends, my Blog friends, and friends of all those who forwarded the link.  I appreciate all who participated!
  
Here's the Funny Story....
     My Aunt Jill also supported me throughout this contest, and this morning she asked me if I won.  I said that I got 2nd place and was so excited about it.  This was her response, "BOO!", to which I responded, "Not Boo, YAY!"  I really am so happy about 2nd place :).  First of all, Amazing Amanda blessed me with a Glamp Kit.  That in itself is a fantastic prize.  As if that weren't enough, she let me enter it into a contest.  And to top it off, I won even more prizes.  So, that's where the NEW WORD comes in.  My aunt and I both thought of this at the same time.  (Great Minds Really Do Think Alike, lol) 

Here it is:

BOOYAY--Its a semi-celebration.  She was dissapointed and I was Ecstatic, but when she realized I was so happy, she was too!

Thank you, again, Amanda.

Happy Quilting ;),
